Tab by Al Byrne
Tune full step down
Theres a sacrifice you make
There are people along the way
When theres nowhere to run and theres nowhere to stay
And the wheels still move
But wont slow down
Even when youre spinning in the same soft ground
And theres a tear in her eye
Because shes known you too long
And she cant tell the singer from the whorehouse song
When the well runs dry
Theres nothing left to say
Just throw up your hands and wail all day
And everythings fair
And you dont like it that way
Something has to die
When the well runs dry
Theres a dancer I used to get
By giving her cigarettes
She told me that I hadnt quite hurt enough yet
So I let her do me wrong
But not for very long
Then I put her in the mirror and I put her in a song
When the well runs dry
Theres nothing left to say
Throw up your hands and wail all day
And everythings fair
And you dont like it that way
Something has to die
When the well runs dry
Sitting here at the top your will is getting weak
You let my mind get fattened up
Now Im quiet and I aint supposed to speak
Ill speak up when Ive had enough
A singer we used to know
He let himself go
Played 15 minutes of a sold out show
And everybody laughed
In the aftermath
And he never came back
No he never came back
When the well runs dry
Theres nothing left to say
Throw up your hands and wail all day
And everythings fair
And you dont like it that way
Something has to die
When the well runs dry
